Parosexual

Ad

Parosexuality is a sexual orientation. People may describe themselves as parosexual if they can experience sexual attraction to people of multiple genders, but experience that attraction differently depending on the other person’s gender.

These differences may involve intensity, frequency, the type of sexual attraction, physical or emotional components, fantasies, or preferences. A parosexual person can therefore be sexually attracted to multiple genders while not experiencing that attraction as the same across all genders.

The term describes sexual attraction and does not automatically indicate anything about romantic attraction, relationship forms, or a person’s own gender. As with all orientation labels, the exact personal use may vary; what matters is how the individual defines the term for themselves.
